Designed by the architect of the Eiffel Tower, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien) was the first to span the Red River in Hanoi, serving as a crucial transport link between cities and towns in Northern Vietnam. Despite being heavily bombed during the Vietnam War, the bridge remains standing, a tangible symbol of the nation’s enduring resilience. Today, visitors can walk or cycle across its iron structure, experiencing a piece of history and enjoying panoramic views of the river and the city.
